The aim of this project is to focus on the human-facing aspects of artificial intelligence (AI). The overall aim is to use agent-based modelling to develop mechanisms for norm emergence and behaviour change, to encourage desirable behaviours (e.g.

The UK Government has a commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 80% by 2050. While the last five years has seen a 50% reduction in carbon density of the electricity grid, the target is unlikely to be met without also tackling the gas network.

Agent-based simulation can be used to model the dynamics of natural systems. each agent represents a low-level component (e.g. a cell), and the finished simulator aims to model the higher level dynamics (e.g.
